I was at the DH yesterday (well I left halfway through game 2), but I got to the park at about 3:30 and noticed there was nobody selling anything in the seating area. NO vendors until 6 pm. AND the permanent stands in LF were closed as well. For some reason that really pissed me off. People are going to show up for this tripe have a ****in vender available for them. What a lazy organization. I realize it's a long day for everyone but that was asinine IMO.

The beer vendor at a permanent stand behind home plate in the upper deck was complaining about the "stupid" promotion letting in people wearing Blackhawk's gear at a special rate. He went on to tell his buddy how he even might make a little more money.

Really? Stupid? In front of me wearing a Blackhawk's hat? That shouldn't even have meant anything but it did and I'm glad my kids weren't with me to hear him talking.

Ignorant and inexcusable.

I priced out the DH using a code a couple days ago, and it ended up being slightly less than that promotion anyway.

Also, if it let in more people so he could make more money selling beer, why would it be stupid?

It didn't bother me because I go to the concourse and buy polishes instead of the steamed hot dogs from the venders, and I almost never buy beer at the games anyway, but I definitely noticed the lack/lack of activity of the venders yesterday.

I'm glad others noticed this as well. I was given tickets in the Club Level for the DH yesterday (as opposed to my normal season ticket location in Section 158). In the middle of the game, I looked out at the park and not one green shirted vendor in the stadium. It wasn't until 6:10pm until I saw my first green shirted vendor walking the concourse.

In between games I went down to my normal seats and chatted with the beer vendor who regularly works in my section. He said they were told to treat it as a normal 7:10pm game and basically no need to show up for the first game because they weren't expecting anyone to show up for the first game. It's one thing to say that on a regular true DH but when you specifically market the DH as an offer for Blackhawks fans who just finished attending the parade/rally and then don't bother having any of the vendors show up until the second game?

Yet another example of the joke known as White Sox management.

Speaking of the Club Level, they did not even have wait staff working the seats at the start of the first game. When they finally showed up in the 3rd inning, they began taking orders --- only to later tell patrons that they could only take drink orders because the kitchen wasn't ready yet.
